Ive been trying to edit some xml from apps. But all I get is jumbled symbols,etc even when trying some xml capable apps for windows like notepad+. Any suggestions on what I may be doing incorrect,a good xml editor out there,etc?? Thanks.

 

ok,yeah i was just extracting everything. i have apktool already. ill use it to decompile,etc...brain fart. lol never occured to me i needed to decompile recompile.

 

yeah ive used notepad+ for many uses other than xml. i knew it was capable,i just wasnt doing things in the right order. im hoping to edit my phone and conracts apks and redesign the layout onscreen entirely and also do some color matching etc....sounds like work to some. but to me its fun. as long as i dont brick lol. backup ppl rule of they day

 

ive not had to many issues with notepad+ yet. but I'll take a look at liquid xml. im using every method i can so alternatives are nice.

 

and just to give a bit back,what im doing is editing each elite stock app that most people use and attempting to blend a little ics,honeycomb and some other elements into a pretty nice revamp of the original stock gingerbread. im approx 50% complete.
